Hello XXX,
I WOULD recommend this test to any animal owner or bearded dragon owner with a sick animal. Especially as the test will detect other virus, such as the Adeno helper virus (This is exceedingly nasty), calici, corona and other virus.
As for screening for healthy animals , I would go on the advice of a qualified reptile specialist. Â I am not a reptile specialist.
I hope this helps,
Lou Ann

This all the proof I need to realize this is not an epidemic and any individual just reading through this thread will realize this as well! The words from a University researcher basically saying if they are sick test them(Duh), and if not it's totally up to the breeder and their Vet's recommendation. So she only recommends for sick dragons, which is the entire point of this discussion since 99% of the breeders represented here and do not have a single sick dragon in their care. So why test? Well that question was just answer by the woman that does the testing, and her recommendations are to talk to your Vet and make your own decisions!
Does this sound like an epidemic to you? It most certainly doesn't to me, her tone of voice and relaxed posture in her writing shows that his is just another virus that can be present in a large number of sick dragons... The End!
